It had been quiet in the small house on the hill for around an hour only the rustle of clothes and an occasional tick of something being put down disturbed the piece. They had been playing for an hour now and it Snape was clearly winning.

Suddenly Lupin grabbed his stomach and let out a small groan.

"It is beginning!" Snape said as he quickly jumped up and relocated the chess set to a table. "Lie down on the bed, I'm not going to carry you back if you fall out because you kept sitting on the edge."

As Lupin quickly lay back another pain cramp hit him and groaned. "Is it supposed to do this?"

"I don't know" As he shrugged and cast a few spells. "It's re-aligning your DNA and taking the werewolf parasite DNA out. I guess that hurts"

"Thanks for the warning" Lupin growled, as the pain was getting worse.

"I guess I should have warned you but I didn't actually know anyway you are warned now" He put a monitoring spell on Lupin and sat down next to him.

"How long will it take" Lupin asked through his teeth while he tried to find a better way to lie down. "It feels like the transformations but without the release of energy to the growing of fur and teeth"

"It shouldn't take to long, maybe 15 minutes. I am monitoring the change with a spell and it is quite quick I would say around 25 is now normal DNA"

"Ahhhhhh…" Lupin screamed as he started to twist more and more. "It's getting to much"

"LAY STILL lab rat or you will destroy my lab!" He quickly put a binding spell on Lupin to keep him from jumping of the bed.

Suddenly Lupin stopped and lay still on the bed. Quickly Snape jumped up and checked him all over with a few different spells.

"I guess it also makes you sleep. At least that will keep you quiet for a while" He got up and started to check on some of the experiment he had been working on the day before while he let the potion take care of Lupin for a while. It was nice to have someone around for a while who didn't ask him anything about what had happened. Of course Lupin was only there because there was a chance that he would be cured but it was nice none the less.

As he worked all night while Lupin was still sleeping and healing he checked on the mice in the tank. He had promised to let them go and hadn't done it yet. He picked up the mouse he had used the potion on and it still seemed fine. To be sure he casted a few spells and noticed that the mouse was pregnant as well. "Well I'm sure Lupin would be glad to hear that he will still be able to produce children" but at the same time thought please no…. not more of those brats. He wasn't a teacher anymore of course but he still thought like one after 15 years of teaching.

He was actually hoping to teach a little more, Maybe he could get to Potter through Lupin so he could teach him a little more so the little brat could at least kill the Dark Lord and free them all.

"Hmmmm…" he suddenly heard and saw that Lupin had started turning again. In a few strides he was next to the bed and casting a few spells to check on him. He was at 98 of normal DNA and he was waking up again.

"How are you feeling?" Snape asked as he looked at the man who seemed to be doing fine.

"I feel like someone flew into me with those new Nimbus there is. Is everything alright?" he mumbled

"Well I think it worked but we can't be sure yet as you still have some werewolf DNA left but we will see" As Lupin sat up.

"Are you feeling well enough to get up and eat something because I don't feel like playing a house elf for you!"

Lupin pushed himself of the bed and stumbled to the stair. Snape followed him and helped him a little so he wouldn't fall back down and be there any longer then Snape wanted. He pushed the werewolf back in the chair and went to the kitchen to get some food.

He didn't have a lot in house and they would have to make it with some French cheese toast and some pate. He also made a nice strong coffee for himself and tea for Lupin and brought it back into the livingroom. Setting the food on the table he gave Lupin his tea and sat down in his chair with the coffee.

"I feel a lot better now already actually. It's like I am drained but not of energy but of bricks." Lupin said as he sniffed at the tea.

"I guess that's because the werewolf DNA is actually a parasite who needs energy to sustain itself." Taking a sip of his coffee and looking at Lupin if he could see anything wrong yet.

"We do have a small problem I haven't found an answer to yet, what should we tell the others, if I am suddenly cured they will of course suspect something." Taking a sip of his tea and looking as Snape for an answer.

"Just tell them what you did when you get back and I'm sure they will just test you and find out everything is alright. I will obliviate you so you won't know where this house is and the problem is solved." He stood up and walked to the stairs to the basement. "I forgot something you keep on eating I will be back in a second"

He quickly went downstairs and picked up the tank from the table and took it back up stairs.

"What's that?" he heard when he had just gotten through the hole. "These are mice. I use them for experimenting" He took the tank to the window and took the lit off. He put it on it's side on the ground and left it there for the mice to climb out on their own time.

"Why did you let them go then?" Lupin asked as he got up to look out the window seeing a small white nose sniffing the outside of the tank.

"I promised I would let them go if your potion worked" Sitting back down and making him self some toast.

"I didn't know you had such sentiment" Lupin smiled at him and walked back to the chair.

Snape was just about to take a bite when suddenly a pain shot through his arm.

Well another chapter and finally it's turning out like I wanted. I think you can all guess what will happen in the next chapter.
